Attack on Titan Season 3 episode 2 (39) + 3 (40)

Hey finally caught up with all the reacts! Man the animation for Levi’s chase sequence is so fantastic every time I see it! We’re also getting lots of info dumps now which is fun after 2 seasons of “oh that’s an interesting detail, what could that mean?” Only for 3 more questions to immediately get thrown at you and makes you forget about the first one entirely. Anyway love the energy and vibe you bring to your videos and looking forward to seeing more!

What still amazes me is that Isayama was only 19 when he first started writing AoT.

Various tidbits: MAHN-ga with the soft 'g'. Erwin/Ervin ends up being three syllables because Japanese doesn't do consecutive consonants unless the first consonant of the pair is 'n'. (Like manga.) So Ervin ends up eh-ru-bin. When you talk about kin-care and motivation, it makes me wonder if you've read Richard Dawkins' famous book, "The Selfish Gene?" Might be before your time, since it just had it's 50th anniversary. If you haven't, Dawkins' central thesis was that organisms (including humans) primarily exists as a method of perpetuating genes, and that evolution is really selecting for the genetic combinations best at perpetuating themselves. This explains why people care more for those related to them, and then those in their community, and then those that look like them - as the circles get bigger, the amount of genetic commonality decreases.

Attack on Tuesday! ❤️‍🔥

Casting my vote to watch the No Regrets OVAs for next week!

Yeah I think you missed some stuff in these episodes. These and the next ones are packed with small and big revelations. - Rod Reiss was known to us up till know as a simple noble - yet it was revealed that he is the true king and and that Historia (his daughter) is therefore heir to the throne - the part with Eren to be eaten. We saw with Ymir that she ate a friend of Reiner (in human form) and thereby gained the power she had (she even apologized for taking that power away). - a lot of small interactions between Kenny and Levi, about Kenny raising Levi - most of all, the sudden drop of Levi's full name: Levi Ackermann -> and the connection... we already know another Ackermann: Mikasa Ackermann (per their family tree, though not that important they share a grand or great grandfather) - most importantly the whole thing about titans having to eat an intelligent titan to regain their human form. I think this works a bit like old days Zombies, wanting to eat brains (to remember being human) and it explains the titans inner drive to eat humans (so to have the chance of "accidently" eating an "titan-shifter" and regaining their human form) as a part of a instinctive drive.

There are two separate episodes known as OVAs, in which the protagonist is Levi. His complete backstory is there, including his life in the underground city and how he joined the Survey Corps. They are in the OADs section and are called "No Regrets," listed as episodes 4 and 5

You are only just now reaching the button of the mountain of how attack on titan is a story of the world and how everything is. This show is crazy how realistic it is with human emotion and how we all act towards each other and outsiders and people that are different.

Attack on Tuesday! To clarify a few things: The guy that Levi and Hange were torturing was the one that told them that Reiss is the true royal family, after he thought the other guy had already told them, I think you missed that since it was very quick. Also, I can't explain it fully yet, but I can say that a titan would have to eat Eren's human body to get his powers. Also, since you seemed to be a little confused about it, in the first episode of the season when Eren's titan was all shriveled it, was because they were limit testing how many times he can transform in a row and by the third transformation, he was unable to form the full body, it's not a permanent problem or anything

I think you watching the OVA episodes next week would probably be good to get the back story of Levi.

Episode 39 is when I became a full blown Levi fanatic.

i just wanna say at 8:30 when you hummed another beat i think you accidentally did the death note intro haha

ATTACK ON TUESDAY!!!
